Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 68
"Okay guys, we're almost there." Aeris said, pointing at the small statue on the ocean floor.
"Wait, what happened to that Kingdra? You just skipped over that!" Petal said, frowning.
"Oh, right." Aeris said, chuckling. "See, I just beat her in one punch." Aeris pointed at the unconscious Kingdra to prove her point.
"Oh, of course." Petal said, nodding. "So, anyways, we'd better get to that statue."
The three of them swam to the statue, Chinchou lighting the area around them. Kellyn and Petal placed their hands on the statue, the five holes in the side shining. A pillar of light shot up from the statue, shooting up into the sky.
"To the surface." Petal said, pointing upwards. They swam up to the surface, breaking the calm water. They looked around, and saw Kurou and the other Staraptor flying around them.
"Master, look!" Kurou said, pointing at the cloudy skies above them. The skies had darkened, now the five pillars of light were five dots piercing through the shadows. Slowly, lines traced themselves onto the cloud, connecting the dots, forming a symbol in the shape of a star.
"Petal!" Kana shouted into the styler, which Petal had to hold away from her ear. "The monolith! It's got a symbol traced on it!"
"Is it the same one traced on the clouds?" Petal asked.
"…Clouds?" Kana asked. She was silent for a few seconds, probably staring at the sky, before she answered again. "Yeah, it's the same one."
"Okay, we're going back to you guys then." Petal said, frowning. Staraptor helped her back on, and Kellyn climbed back onto Kurou's back, along with Aeris. The two flying moemon flapped their wings and flew higher into the sky, soaring back towards the thunderclouds. They landed on Tilikule Island, the rangers getting off of their rides.
"So, this is the Involith." Petal said, staring at the shimmering monolith. "I'll record this symbol, then."
Petal recorded the symbol, and then released her styler. She traced the symbol on the ground, and the light in the sky gathered in one place. Suddenly, from the single dot of light in the center of the clouds, a red moemon shot out and landed next to her, Latias.
"Hello there!" Latias said, smiling cheerfully. "How can I help you, my contractor?"
"Um, we kind of need to get to that island, but it's kind of surrounded in lightning…" Petal said, frowning.
"Oh, don't worry about that!" Latias said, smiling. "You helped me, so I'll help you! I can fly you to the island, no problem!"
"Um, what about the rest of us?" Kellyn asked.
"When I fly, I create a barrier of psychic energy around my body." Latias explained. "And as long as you fly behind me, you can receive my protection, as well!"
"Awesome!" Kurou cheered.
"Well then, since we're done here, I suppose I can take my leave." The other Staraptor said, bowing. "Thank you for allowing me to be of use."
Staraptor flew up into the sky and disappeared, leaving the group to prepare to enter Mt. Layuda.
"So, are you guys ready?" Petal asked, frowning.
"Of course I'm ready." Kurou said, smiling.
"We're ready too." Kaila said, draping her arm over Kana.
"I'm not gonna let you ride on me again." Kana said, frowning.
"You say that like you have a choice." Kaila said, smirking.
"I hate you so much." Kana said, frowning.
"It's the curse that someone who flies has to bare." Kaila said, smirking.
"I'm going to shake you off into a storm cloud." Kana promisd.
Latias took off into the air, Petal and Pichu holding onto her back, and shot towards Layuda Island. Kellyn got on top of Kurou, who flew with him, following Latias in her wake. Kana reluctantly flew after them as well, carrying a smug Kaila with her as a passenger.
Latias's psychic barrier made it possible for them to fly through the storm clouds without getting hit by the lightning, a feat that would normally be impossible. They moved through the clouds and broke free in the center of the storm, flying for the mountain.
"Okay, for some reason I can't land where Zapdos is, so I'm going to settle for like halfway down the mountain and you guys can walk the rest of the way, okay?" Latias asked.
"What?" Petal asked, unable to hear her over the thunder.
"Good!" Latias said, landing on a large ridge about halfway up the mountain. "This is as close as I can get you guys."
"Okay, just getting us through the lightning was nice enough of you." Petal said, smiling.
"Of course." Latias said, smiling. "If you ever need me again, just draw my sign in the sky!"
Latias coated her body in a cloaking veil of psychic energy, and flew up into the air and out of sight.
"So, any ideas about how we're supposed to get to the peak?" Petal asked, frowning. "It's pretty high up."
"I think I'm too exhausted to fly…" Kurou said, frowning.
"I don't think we could make it up there, anyway." Kana said, frowning.
"We can always go in through the cave." Kellyn said, pointing at the large cave opening jutting out of the rock like a ravenous maw.
"Sounds like a plan!" Aeris said, grinning wildly. "I can't wait to see just what kinds of strong moemon are in there!"
"Hey, I'm going to beat more than you!" Kana said, frowning. "I'm way stronger than you are!"
"You two are morons." Kaila said, frowning. "Besides, it's obvious that I'm the strongest out of the three of us."
"Kurou thinks she's the strongest!" Kurou bragged about herself, grinning.
"Oh, really?" Kana asked, frowning.
"Yup! Kurou flew all around while Kana just sat back and did nothing!" Kurou said, smiling cheerfully.
"Say that again, huh?" Kana demanded, irritated, grinding her fists into the sides of Kurou's head.
"Owie!" Kurou whined.
"…I'm definitely not the strongest…" Pichu said, frowning.
EoS: So, I wonder who is the strongest.
Lauren: Leaf.
EoS: Strongest MOEMON.
Lauren: …Leaf.
